Volvo 265

[ P1800ES | 242 | 244 | 245 | 262 | 262C | 264 | 265 | 66 | 343 | 345 ]

When Volvo presented its news for the 1975 model year in August, the programme included a new version - the Volvo 265.

For the first time, Volvo was now able to offer an estate with a 6-cylinder engine. The Volvo 265 was based on the practical design of the 245 but in combination with the comfort of a 6-cylinder engine.

With the Volvo 265, Volvo further consolidated its position as one of the leading estate manufacturers.
